Content

Raising Confidence with Technology aims to develop the technology skills of secondary teachers. These skills are transferrable across all aspects of maths teaching, but the content mostly focuses on Higher Tier GCSE topics.

There will be opportunities to share ideas and strategies for working with students and technology. Delegates will be given resources, as well as having the opportunity to create bespoke files to support their students. There is full tutor support throughout the day.

Materials and Equipment

Delegates are requested to bring a laptop or tablet with GeoGebra installed on it. GeoGebra can be downloaded free from geogebra.org. No previous experience of using the software is required.

Cost

Raising Confidence with Technology is free to state-funded schools and colleges.

If you are working in a state-funded school or college, participation in this course attracts a £100 subsidy, subject to engagement and completion of the course.

Schools and colleges located within Priority Areas are eligible to receive a further subsidy of £150 to support staff cover and travel costs.
